Mouse Creek Falls

Gallery: LandscapePosted January 6, 201285 views4 comments

Taken last spring in the Smoky Mountains. The hike to Mouse Creek Falls along Big Creek is wonderful.

This is actually part of what could have been 3 vertically stitched images. The falls is hard to photograph because of the logs etc. in the stream just below the falls. The trees above the falls seem to grow to the sky. So, I guess I wanted to capture that too and show some sense of scale.

This is an interesting composition. Typically I find it hard to make pleasing vertical panos but his seems to work to give the scene a sense of place. If anything, I'd like to see a bit more at the bottom.

Tom, I think this worked out pretty good. I agree with David that vert panos are hard to make work (at least for me) but you pulled it off very well here. I like this with the trees in the upper part and it does show a nice sense of scale. You also did a nice job of working around the logs that are below the falls. I especially like this in the b/w. Kind of feels like spring here today!

Tom,

Agree with the previous comments. You did well with this vertical presentation. The forest at the top appears busy, yet it also appears "whole" and is a wonderful contribution to the overall scene. I like this quite a lot.

Thanks for the larger version. It's a busy scene, but as it gets bigger and the details come out it's more fun to explore. The B&W is nicely calming here.
